So you didn’t get braces as a kid, but now you’re an adult and you’re ready to start living your most confident life? The decision to invest in yourself is a life-changing one, and your team here at Wall Orthodontics in Statesboro is here for it!
We’re here to guide you along your journey, and there’s no better time to begin your transformation than today. Here’s why it’s the perfect time to start adult orthodontics treatment:
Do adults get braces?
Yes! In fact, more adults than ever before are getting Invisalign® and braces, including custom KLOwen braces that reduce treatment by 41% and nearly-invisible ceramic braces.
If you waited to get braces as an adult, you’re certainly not alone. Over the last 50 years, the number of adults undergoing orthodontic treatment has increased significantly. As reported by the AAO, only 4.37% of the orthodontic patients were adults in 1960, but as of 2016, adult patients made up 28.31% of all orthodontic patients!
Today, it’s estimated that 1 in 4 orthodontic patients is an adult. It’s safe to say that more people are understanding the true value of orthodontic treatment, and realizing that treatment options are cooler, more efficient, more discreet and more aesthetic than ever before.
Braces aren’t just for kids and teens anymore.
Top 6 Reasons to Get Braces (for Adults)
1. Experience newfound confidence.
If you’re an adult who feels self-conscious when you smile, or you’ve always dreamed of having a bright and genuine smile, that’s more than enough reason to get braces or Invisalign. You deserve to live with confidence, and smiling plays a huge role in that.
Our highly-experienced, Statesboro orthodontist, Dr. Wall, creates beautiful smiles for adults just like you. Orthodontic treatment will help you put your best smile forward, so you don’t have to hide your teeth, hold back the laughter, or avoid situations that put you in the spotlight. You deserve to do it all and more.
2. Adults have options!
One of the reasons many adults have been hesitant to undergo orthodontic treatment in the past is because they don’t necessarily want to wear traditional braces. While we truly believe getting braces as an adult is nothing to be ashamed of, we understand the desire for a more discreet treatment method.
As you now know, you have options! We provide modern braces options for our adult patients. On your first visit, you’ll be able to choose from:
- Custom KLOwen braces – Each bracket is custom-designed for each tooth!
- Invisalign® clear aligners – Enjoy the freedom to take your aligners out before eating, and cleaning your teeth.
- Clear ceramic braces – We use Chic Mini Ceramic braces by GC Ortho for a more discreet look.
- Gold braces – Sport a one-of-a-kind, golden smile while you achieve your perfect smile.
- Experience™ self-ligating braces – Experience a more advanced alternative to traditional braces. Believe it or not, metal braces are back in style!
More adults are getting braces than ever before, because they’re not limited to traditional braces. Adults have options nowadays!
3. You’ll receive the exact treatment you need.
Maybe you don’t need full orthodontic treatment because you only have a few crooked teeth, which is holding you back from seeking out the treatment you deserve. Or maybe you had braces as a child but lost your retainer somewhere along the way, and your smile has regressed a bit.
Either way, with Wall Orthodontics, you don’t have to commit to a longer treatment than you actually need. Simply Aligned is our exclusive treatment option for minor cases. Adults can have a few teeth aligned, or a touch-up from previous treatment with as little as 2 office visits.
With Simply Aligned, we use industry-leading Invisalign clear aligners to create the easiest path to your ideal smile, with low-cost and no-hassle. That’s another reason why adult orthodontics is better than ever nowadays — treatment is truly personalized to your needs.
4. Our digital approach makes your experience as easy as possible.
We understand that you have a lot on your plate already! Between work and/or school, your social life and your family’s schedules, your days are probably jam-packed.
We appreciate all that you do, so we offer modern-day solutions to make the treatment process practical and convenient for you. With DentalMonitoring technology, we minimize office visits by monitoring your progress remotely through the secure DentalMonitoring app.
To complete virtual check-ins instead of office visits, you’ll simply use the device provided to take some pictures of your smile and send them to our team. Dr. Wall will assess your progress and send you feedback right through the app. You’ll only have to visit us when necessary!
From your initial consultation to your final visit, we leverage the latest technologies to make orthodontic treatment an easy, convenient, personalized experience that accommodates your lifestyle.
5. Braces and Invisalign are affordable here.
Did you know that Invisalign and braces for adults are a lot more affordable than when you were a child? Not only have new technologies enabled orthodontists to reduce treatment costs, but we also offer flexible financing to help you smile now, and pay over time.
- Choose between 0% interest in-house financing and CareCredit financing.
- If you have dental insurance, this can reduce your treatment cost significantly too! We’ll handle all of the paperwork for you.
- Ask us about our pay-in-full discount, family member discount or military discount, too!
Dr. Wall also offers you a consultation and full smile exam at no cost. We want you to feel confident in your decision to start treatment with us, and we want you to receive a professional smile assessment — with no pressure and no obligation.
We truly do everything we can to make the cost of adult braces and Invisalign affordable.
6. It’s about your quality of life too!
Many people don’t even realize that their smile is hindering their quality of life. The alignment of your teeth and jaw bones has everything to do with your vital functions, like breathing and eating.
When the teeth are all aligned in a healthy row, and the top jaw bone is properly aligned with the bottom jaw bone, things get a lot easier. The airway opens up and breathing is easier, speech improves, and chewing and biting is more comfortable, which can also improve digestion.
We go beyond the surface to create beautiful smiles. Dr. Wall leverages our patients’ growth, development and overall appearance to achieve exceptional results in the shortest time possible.
So, why get braces or Invisalign?
Living a greater quality of life is one of the most important reasons to get braces or Invisalign. It’s not just about ‘straight teeth’; it’s about living your best life, breathing your easiest and waking up as the happiest you.
More adults are getting braces, because they’re realizing the true value of orthodontic treatment, and they’re finding out that the treatment process is a lot easier and more convenient than it once was! So if you waited to get Invisalign or braces as an adult, you’re in luck.
